F8x M3 / M4 Competition Package (7MN / ZCP) Specs and Details

[solstice]

Hmmm...why would the Hi-Fi be listed as part of ZCP? Is this an upgrade from the base system in Europe?

Power, seats, exhaust, suspension, wheels, seat belts and performance tuned electronics. Not bad.

Best part of ZCP as far as I'm concerned:

Yeah, pretty weak. I am curious to see the seatbelts - could be tacky, could be cool. Also interesting that first pic is an M3 not an M4.

So the same leg digging seats w/ cut outs?

This is a bit disappointing. I was thinking it would be similar to the M5/6 competition pkg but this is just not worth it. I believe this will cost $4900 in Canada too.

Absolutely. At least until we can drive it and judge the difference in engine and chassis dynamics.

• Sports exhaust system with tailpipes in black high-gloss- I like that, but I can already get those now
• M seats with cut-out, for driver and front passenger- What?
• Seat belts, design stripes in M colours- That's pretty cool, but not worth the wait
• 20" M light alloy wheels Star-spoke style 666 M, forged, with mixed tires- I like these, though I would prefer them in 19s... they almost look too big here
• Adaptive M suspension- Have that. How's that different?
• HiFi loudspeaker system (optional: Harman Kardon surround sound - Have that. How's that different?system)
• BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line- Do they mean the kidneys?
• BMW Individual high-gloss Shadow Line with extended contents- Are they talking about the black gills here?
• Upholstery: cloth/leather combination Carbon structure, colour: anthracite (alternatively/optional: Leather Merino or full leather Merino)- How's that different?

All in all, I'm a little disappointed in the package, but then again, the one on the E46 wasn't substantially different from the base model, either. I'm curious to know in what the "adaptations" of the DSC and Active Suspension result.

Probably not worth the cost, and I would say certainly not worth waiting to place an order for an M4 for this. But that's just me...

Shadowline is gloss black trim around the Windows etc. It is an option outside the US. The "adaption" is new software.

Not impressed! Glad I did not wait. Seats would be the only thing of interest, but I can't see myself forking over $6K++. Especially when the wheels seem like a fail overall.

What do you mean? You can probably buy all of the parts and have them installed but that wouldnt be very cost efficient.

Really, I think it looks weird as hell with holes in them so the backseat passengers can see you. Works in the GTs but here? Hell no.

[dailym3]

$6500 for this? Uh, no thank you. Sounds like they just made the adaptive suspension standard. I guess if you just have to have the wheels and seats, then it might be worth it, but for 10hp (which it sounds like you get with the sport exhaust and maybe a mild tune) and the same suspension and brakes it just doesn't seem at all worth it to me. My money will be much better spent with Dinan.

Kind of but I don't find the standard seats very comfortable. They are too rounded side to side in the height where these cut-outs are. This design should remove those pressure points and be more comfy for long stints. But that's just a guess at this point.

Yes. HiFi and H/K are optional in Germany.

W/// I don't see ZCP springs in ETK?

[nbennettksu]

I love those wheels

So you wanted less for more?

Power is not everything, when you will guys learn this...

Im so glad i got my 2015 and didn't wait for this joke..

I also wonder if this "sport exhaust" is just a non-titanium version of the MPE?



Why? This is by far one of the most comprehensive ZCP we've seen to date. Certainly blows the one from the E9x M3 out of the water IMO.

I love everything about it! And a power bump. First ZCP to offer that. Winning.

fvkin love those rims

Is it going to be 6 large?

[Sassicaia]

Seats look terrible IMO.

Seats and wheels with ZHP are reason enough to avoid it. I wouldnt take either of them if they were free options.

[solstice]

It certainly brings some strong visual changes in terms of the wheels, seats, seat belts and black exhaust pipes. The ZCP cars will stand out in the showrooms no doubt. My guess is that it will be a very popular option, again

Hmm you're right, I'm only seeing ZCP struts. I could have sworn someone posted a link to ETK and it had springs and struts from one of the other threads. I could of course be wrong.
